Doris Chase was a painter, teacher, sculptor of monumental kinetic forms, and a pioneer in the history of creating video art. Her sculptural forms and in this case her nesting modules, usually cut from one block, could be pulled apart into an infinite number of relationships to each other, then restored to the matrix to form a whole block again. I want a new kind of spectator, not just an observer, but one who will touch and actively work with the movement and arrangement of its interacting parts; one who will redesign space, and reorganize form; be entrapped in creating. –Artist statement
